'No I'm Not Going To Tell You My Pronouns' - Guests CLASH Over Trans Pupils In Single-Sex Schools

Single-sex schools will be allowed to reject transgender applicants of the opposite biological sex, government guidelines are expected to say.

It would protect girls’ schools if they refused a place to a boy identifying as female and the same would apply for girls identifying as male wanting to join boys’ schools.

Two guests that joined Vanessa Feltz also clashed over the use of pronouns.

The Department for Education was ordered by Rishi Sunak to speed up long-awaited guidance on the subject. It has been working with the office of Kemi Badenoch, the equalities minister.

Should schools have the right to ban trans pupils from single-sex schools?

Asking for pronouns is a dominance strategy. It's a way of forcing compliance to an ideology and demanding to control another person's speech and, by extension, their thinking.

No one should be forced into the DELUSIONS of others! Mental illness is a personal problem NOT A SOCIETAL one! 💯💯

[freespeechadvocate]

We truly do live in a clown world where we are being forced to pander to these people's mental ideology.

Good for the lady on the left for not "obeying" the activist.

I feel sorry for Naomi, such an intelligent and dignified woman having to debate with this cultist.

A pronoun is something I use when I talk about a person not when I talk to a person. This is a power trip and it's actually about mind control.
Edit: One year later it's obvious that it's a good idea to clarify that in thgis context it means "preferred pronoun" but I'm also aware that angry non binaries will still do their best to misunderstand it and try to obfuscate the message with some technicality. So to make absolutely sure I meant that the whole gender insamity is exactly that - seek help.

I recently joined a dance movement therapy group in London. Because of one person, a gay woman who on the very first day, told everyone else that my pronouns are "they" "them" with great arrogance, we were all asked about our pronouns. I declined to tell my pronouns, I am a man a biological man, therefore my pronouns are obvious. I left the group based on principles.

0.5% of the pooulaton is trans in the UK So 99.5% of us have to change the way we talk? If someone wants to tell me fine, but I'm not giongto ask. That could be insulting.

[jonhigginson]

I love people announcing their pronouns, it’s an instant warning shot to steer clear of them…

[jodiebird]

Get men out of Women's spaces, including jails

[Smackemback]

If someone wants to pretend to be the opposite sex that is up to them but if they want me to pretend they are the opposite sex that is up to me !

[metalbearuk]

You'll never, ever convince me this is normal.

Going to school is not about feelings but learning reading writing and math.

[ludmilacheri]

Why all these activists look like patients of a psychiatric clinic ?? Who will take him seriously??? Craziness

[garymellor]

It's really hard to take a grown man dressed like a baby seriously. Looking at the comments I may have misgendered etc. I hope I haven't got the pro nouns wrong too.

[observet]

He says all students should feel safe, which means there are certainly no boys in the girls' locker room.

[Mycenaea]

When one is dressed like an adult, and the other one is dressed like a toddler, but you're supposed to take them both seriously.

[Yvonned]

So I’m not aloud to make them uncomfortable but it’s ok for them to make me uncomfortable because I choose not to believe there delusions . You are either male or female that’s it .

[poundpound]

That's extremely weird and awkward to announce your pronouns to a person. If someone did that to me I'd just walk away because it sounds insane
